♦宾语从句的引导词
1. 当宾语从句是陈述句时(包括肯定句和否定句),连词由that引导,因为that在从句中不作任何成分,也没有任何具体意思,因此在口语或非正式文体中常省略。
Lin Tao feels (that) his own team is even better.
She says (that) she won't take part in the sports meeting next Sunday.
Jim thought (that) the train was like a big moving party.
He said (that) he would like to see the headmaster.
在主句为动词be加某些形容词(如sorry, sure, afraid, glad等)作表语时,后面所跟的省略that的从句也可算是宾语从句
I'm sorry (that) I don't know .
We're sure (that) our team will win .
I'm afraid (that) he won't pass the exam .
2. 当宾语从句是一般疑问句时,由连词whether或 if 引导(口语中常用if),因为if/whether翻译成:_____________,具有一定的意义,所以不能省略
Lily wanted to know if /whether her grandma liked the handbag .
Let's see if /whether we can find out some information about that city .
She asked me if /whether she could borrow these books .
【练习】
1). I want to know __________________________________.(他是否跟我们一起去公园)
2). Ask him _____________________. (他是否能来)
3). I don't know ___________________________.(是否要下雨)
★注意:只能用whether 不用if 的四种情况
① 后面有or not
I don't know_________ or not you'll go.
② 后面跟不定式
He doesn't know _________ to visit that old man again.
③ 宾从在介词后
I'm interested in _______ he'll go.
④ 当宾语从句置于句首时
________ he lives there, I want to know.
